Ask HN: Is Google disabling accounts for using gws CLI with OpenClaw?

3 points by anandvc 3mo ago ↗ HN

I installed gws cli for my gmail account and asked OpenClaw to check it 3 times a day and send me summaries. It worked well for several days. Today, I got an email from Google saying that my account was disabled for violating Google's policies. I had to sign in to appeal it. I signed it and before I could submit the appeal, my account was restored. Now, I'm wondering what the possible violation might be.

Any thoughts?

have you been using Google AI pro or similar subscription with openclaw? because if so i would assume that is the culprit. otherwise just using the CLI shouldn't violate anything as it's just a wrapper around the API calls

but who knows how the Borg really works
